RUSTON - Louisiana Tech basketball fans will get their first opportunity to purchase season tickets for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters when sales open Monday at the Thomas Assembly Center with one new feature this year being a limited number of floor seats.

Both programs are coming off seasons in which they posted winning records and advanced to the championship game of the 2012 Western Athletic Conference Tournament as Mike White and Teresa Weatherspoon's teams are positioned to make a legitimate run at postseason play in 2012-13.

The Lady Techsters home schedule includes 14 regular season games, including non-conference match-ups against South Carolina, Ole Miss, Oral Roberts, McNeese State and Central Arkansas, as well as nine Western Athletic Conference contests.

The Bulldogs home slate features 14 regular season games, including non-conference tilts against Southern Miss, UL-Monroe, UALR, Southeastern Louisiana and Central Baptist, as well as nine WAC contests.

A limited number of premium luxury floor seats will be sold directly across from the team benches as the "best seats in the house" are priced at $500 for men's or women's season tickets and $750 for the combo package including both men's and women's games.

Season tickets for either the Bulldogs or Lady Techsters include $225 for the lower bowl, $175 for the 100 level (red section) and $110 for the 200 level (blue section). Combo season tickets (both men and women) include $350 for the lower bowl, $285 for the 100 level (red section) and $150 for the 200 level (blue section).

A Flex 10 pack (men, women or combo) which includes a ticket (100 level) to any selected 10 contests can be purchased for $120 while a Flex 20 pack (combo-only, 100 level) can be purchased for $220.

Young LA Tech basketball fans (8th grade and under) can join the LA Tech Kids Club. For only $40, members of the LA Tech Kids Club will receive free admission to all LA Tech home regular season sporting events along with other membership perks such as a club t-shirt, ID card and lanyard and more.
